A New Zealand study has found a link between vaping during pregnancy and sudden infant deaths - also known as SUDI. On average one New Zealand baby dies from SUDI each week - and Maori and Pacific babies are at a much higher risk. The study of 101 deaths between 2022 and 2023 found that over half of the mothers were vaping while pregnant, in the cases involving bedsharing. Researchers say while the link between smoking and SUDI is well established, the new study shows that vaping may be having a similar impact.

The review undertaken by the New Zealand Human Rights Foundation found almost no progress has been made in realising the right to housing since 2023.

Jacqueline Paul, a Maori housing expert, who's on the foundation's managing committee spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Made outside of traditional funding structures, 'Uncle' is a true number 8 wire story. The debut feature from Ryan Alexander-Lloyd was realised with the support of friends, whanau and community. The film follows a man who unexpectedly becomes the caregiver for his best friend's young son after an accident. It aims to platform a side to Maori men that isn't often portrayed on screen. At the heart of the film is the screen debut from three-year-old RJ Lloyd (the director's son), who had no idea a film was being made, let alone that he was in one. Uncle is currently screening as part of the NZIFF. Writer and director Ryan Alexander-Lloyd and lead actor Rihari Te Are speak with Kate and Mihi.

Sir Greg Doran is somewhat of a legend in the world of theatre and William Shakepeare. The first time the former Artistic Director Emeritus of the Royal Shakespeare Company came to New Zealand it was thanks to a copy of a First Folio of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet held at the Auckland Central City Library. Now the renowned theatre director is back in the country, but this time working with students, actors and the public discussing the love stories cultures share, and why they are such timeless tales. Sir Greg's visit was prompted by a creative project involving the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai - two star crossed lovers that some call New Zealand's Romeo and Juliet, but with a happier ending.

Dr Clare Ward has spent over three decades as a country doctor in Hokianga. As a Pakeha practitioner serving a largely Maori community, she's developed a unique perspective on how te ao Maori and western healthcare can work side by side, navigating complex realities of access, equity and trust. Her memoir A Place to Stand: A country doctor's life in Hokianga is out now. She speaks with Mihingarangi about her medical - and personal - journey.

Just as Maori have fought for the restoration of their whenua and reo so too have they fought for recognition of matauranga Maori - traditional knowledge. Unlikely Kin tells the story of Ngati Wai elder Hori Parata and his son Te Kaurinui who lead the cultural harvesting of deceased tohora following a stranding. But it isn't just about treating a taonga with the respect it is due and acknowledging its place within Te Ao Maori. It's about its connection to another taonga - the kauri. Mihingarangi talks to the documentary's directors Kim Webby and Michael Jonathan about a conservation message that was five years in the filming.

Two damning reports into what led to an 11-year-old Maori autistic girl being mistakenly treated as an adult mental health patient, restrained and twice injected with anti-psychotics have been released this morning. Bernadette Jones, Associate Research Professor at the University of Otago spoke to John Campbell.

Serious mistakes led to an 11-year-old Maori autistic girl being misidentified as an adult mental health patient, before she was restrained and twice injected with anti-psychotic medications. Dr Richard Sullivan, who's Health New Zealand's Executive National Director, Clinical spoke to John Campbell.

A rise in unmet need and an on-going lack of investment in Māorimental health services could compromise outcomes for tangata whenua. That is according to the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission, which is calling for an urgent Maori-specific plan by mid-next year. Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission CEO Karen Osborn spoke to Lisa Owen.

A report has found Maori, Pacific Peoples, and young people are not being prioritised when it comes to accessing mental health support.

Pharmac has recently proposed changing who can receive funded treatment for key diabetes medication, moving it in line with a cabinet directive from 2024 saying public services should be prioritised on the basis of need, not race. There has been an outcry from health professionals, such as the cardiac network, saying data shows that Maori and Pacific people are more at risk of diabetes, regardless of their socio-economic status, and the best way to maximise health benefit for dollars spent is by targeting these groups. Further criticism has been directed at Health NZ, which has banned the cardio network from objecting to the removal of eligibility criteria, saying it would breach the 2024 cabinet directive. Cardiologists will be forced to make submissions as individuals, a move the network has said is silencing scientific evidence in the name of politics  To discuss the eligibility changes and Health NZ silencing cardiologists, host Thomas spoke to Association of Salaried Medical Specialists executive director Sarah Dalton.

The spiritual power of the cycle and the womb is core to Red School's teachings and offerings, and we've explored this topic on the podcast through the lens of many different faith, spiritual, traditional and indigenous traditions including; Maori womb wisdom with Hinewai Waitoa, Andean womb wisdom teachings with Dr Cynthia Ingar, Anishinabe cyclical wisdom with Asha Frost, and ancient African womb and birth technologies with Latham Thomas, as well as a conversation with Meggan Watterson about relevant mystical christian texts. Today we're exploring how the Islamic faith reveres the womb, with Holistic Menstrual Health Educator, Womb Steaming Therapist, and author of ‘Peaceful Periods: Holistic Womb Care for Teens', Chantal Blake.Chantal recently gave a learning session in Red School's graduate community, The Hive, and at the start of this session, she asked a question which moved me deeply; “how does your womb impact your spiritual reality and practice?” Many of the community said that no one had ever asked them that before, and perhaps the same is true for you? So, as an extension of Chantal's beautiful question, this conversation is an invitation to you and participants of all faith and cultural backgrounds to contemplate the wisdom of the womb as sacred. We explore: The ancient, worldwide history of womb steaming and how it can support womb and pelvic health. The Arabic word raḥim—meaning womb—shares its root with raḥma, or mercy, and in Islam, the womb is honored not only as a physical center of creation, but as a symbol of divine compassion and relationality and a vessel of divine mystery. How our wombs support us to gestate our creative ideas, and Chantal's experience of working with her womb to birth her work projects, including her book. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Send us Fan Mail"Can't we just lie down in our power? Do we have to step into it?"That question, offered by Ayurvedic teacher Claudia Welch, sparked everything in this episode. Because when we talk about stepping into our power, we are implying that power is somewhere outside of us — something to reach for, to put on, to earn. But what if that image is wrong?What if our power is not something we need to step into, but something we need to remember? What if it has been there all along — beneath the people-pleasing, the masking, the overriding of our bodies, the making ourselves smaller to fit into a world that was not built for us?In this solo episode I explore:The difference between stepping into power and remembering power — and why that distinction matters deeply, especially in midlifeThe Ayurvedic framework of langhana and brahmana — why we live in a profoundly langhana (outputting, reducing, forward-moving) world, and what we lose when brahmana (nourishing, building, gathering inward) is treated as optionalThe feminine archetypes of power — Durga, Athena, the Maori women — fierce and powerful, but different in nature from the masculineThe layers we are peeling away: people-pleasing, masking, performing wellness, overriding the body's signals, making ourselves smallerThe two hormonal clocks — how testosterone operates on a 24-hour circadian rhythm that the entire modern world was built around, while estrogen and progesterone operate on a 28-day infradian rhythm with four distinct phases, each asking something different from the body and brainWhy researchers excluded women from clinical trials because their monthly hormonal variability was too complicated — and how that shaped an entire model of medicine and productivity that was never designed for a female bodyThe four phases of the feminine cycle and what each one genuinely requires — including why rest must come before output in certain phases, not as a reward for productivity but as a biological prerequisitePerimenopause as initiation — why so many women hit burnout and hormonal transition at the same moment, why the symptoms are not a sign of failure, and why this season is actually an invitation into a deeper relationship with your own powerWhy midlife, when estrogen begins to drop, can bring its own kind of liberation — as certain veils begin to fall away on their ownThe community piece — why coming together with other women and speaking these truths out loud is itself part of reclaiming feminine powerWhy you don't need to figure out how to change the system — and what your one small step is this weekThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt like she couldn't keep up, and wondered what was wrong with her. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply running on a different clock.Free resources mentioned:Nourished for Resilience Workbook — self-assessment, resourcing ideas, reflection questions, and habit trackerDIY At-Home Weekend Nervous System Reset Template Teachers mentioned: Claudia Welch (Ayurveda, women's health and hormones) — Alisa Vitti (In the Flo, infradian rhythm and cycle syncing)Resources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram
